More information at www.maxmodolo.com Kinetic and minimalist artwork made entirely with sheets of cardboard of different thickness and color, cut and overlapped by hand to create a suggestive three-dimensional effect. The piece is mounted on a rigid support and protected by a natural wood frame. Title: circLe Technique: Overlapped handmade cut cardboard and layering Dimensions: about 50 × 50 cm (frame included in the measurement) Frame: Natural light wood, high profile Description: This work, created with overlapped cards, masterfully uses real light as a fundamental constitutive element, transforming an apparently two-dimensional work into a perceptual kinetic sculpture. The technique of layered paper creates a true bas-relief sculpture. Each ring protrudes slightly compared to the one below, creating small “steps” that intercept the light. Light coming from above or from the side produces sharp and graduated shadows on the inner edges of each circle. These shadows are not static: they vary in intensity and length depending on the angle of the light source and the viewer’s position. Result: the work “breathes” and constantly changes, almost like a kinetic piece without mechanical parts. Thanks to light, a strong optical retreat toward the center is created. The progressive shadows push the gaze inward, reinforcing the sensation of a vortex or concentric expansion. Under diffuse light (typical of a gallery or a modern home) the work appears softer and more painterly. Under directional lighting (e.g., angled spotlights) it becomes dramatic and almost architectural. This is a site-responsive work: its appearance changes radically based on: - Light intensity - Angle of incidence - Color temperature of the light (warm light enhances orange/yellow tones; cool light brings out shadows contrasts) - Time of day (if placed near a window) The artist does not merely “represent” light, but uses it as a primary material. The true material of the work is not only colored paper, but the combination of paper + light. With the right light it becomes a hypnotic, almost living object. It is an excellent example of how contemporary art can use humble materials (simple cardboard) to create sophisticated perceptual experiences related to light and space. Technique: Each ring was crafted with artisanal precision, with clean edges and calibrated overlays to achieve the maximum volumetric effect. The work is mounted on a rigid support and protected by a natural wood frame. Max Modolo produces these works in his studio in Italy. His research in applied arts ranges from ceramics to wood, from resins to plastic materials, from painting to modern expressive 3D techniques. He is passionate about the work of Gerrit Rietveld, Memphis Group, Mangiarotti, Sottsass, Mendini, Cibic, Bitossi, De Lucchi, Friberg, Zanuso, Fornasetti, , Rörstrand, Gio Ponti, Campi, Fontana and about pop art, geometric art, Scandinavian design, optical art, contemporary sculpture, minimalism, modern art, De Stijl, Pop Art.
